Smith Little Torch with ImpGen-Meco Head Tube & 3 Meco Tips

A hybrid torch setup widens the flame range you can reach at the bench without swapping torches mid-job. This kit combines a compact Smith Little Torch body with an ImpGen precision head tube adapter and Meco N-series tips for soldering and fabrication. Some jewelers consider it a vast improvement over the standard little torch setup, because the Smith Little Torch tips are just too small for some jobs that cross the jeweler's bench. Using the ImpGen precision head tube adapter with the Smith Little Torch lets you fit Meco Midget torch tips and reach a much wider heat and flame range.

The Meco Midget Torch is no longer being made, but that does not mean you cannot enjoy the ease of use and tip range that made the Meco Midget such a popular jewelers torch for so many years.

Features

• Hybrid setup pairs the Smith small torch body with an ImpGen Head Tube Adapter and N-series tips for fine to medium flame sizes in one kit
• Wide working range suitable for soldering, fabrication, and repair on small to moderate-sized jewelry components
• Half-pencil to slightly bushy flame adjustment for both pinpoint detail work and slightly broader heat coverage
• Runs on propane, natural gas, or acetylene when used with appropriate regulators and hose setups
• Supplied with standard USA "B" gauge tank connections for straightforward integration into common studio gas systems
• Precision-machined components support smooth gas flow and consistent flame characteristics over a long service life
  
• Adapts the Little Torch to accept Meco Midget style tips
• Twin-tube 304 stainless steel construction for durability and cooling
• Brass tip with cooling fins helps keep heat away from the handle
• Copper ferrule at the torch end for a cushioned, secure seal
• Enhanced sealing geometry at the tip interface for safety and reliability
• Enables larger, controllable reducing flames for broader soldering tasks

Compatibility

• Fuel gases: propane, natural gas, or acetylene, used with appropriate regulators and hose setups
• Hoses terminate in standard USA "B" gauge tank connections
• The 1-1/2" ImpGen head tube adapter lets the little torch body accept all Meco Midget tips

ImpGen to Little Torch Installation Instructions

1. Thread on the ImpGen Cooler Head Tube by hand, then finish with a firm turn using a suitable wrench.
2. Install tips using two wrenches, one on the brass cooling fins and one on the tip, to ensure a tight seal and protect the head tube.
3. Check the assembled torch for leaks before lighting.

Notes

The original Meco Midget torch earned a reputation for smooth gas flow and controllable heat; this hybrid kit maintains that performance heritage while using a little torch body and  Meco N-series tips.

An extended 3-1/2" head tube adapter, specialized melting tips, laminar-flow tips, and other accessories are available separately if you need additional reach or more concentrated heat patterns.
